MONNIE nanna-HART, oF'NEW LISBON, Awisconsin 'HAIR-Wnvmo DEVICE.

Application filed August 18r 1927. Serial `No. 213,791.

My invention has for its object to provide a simple 'and highly efficient hair waving device, and to this end it c onsists'of the novel. devices and combinations of deviceshereinafter described and defined in the claims. -ln the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

, Referring to the drawings: Fig. 1 is a plan view of the diagrammatically illustrating by means of broken lines the part in the vhair and waves on each side thereof;

Fig. 2 is a view partly in section taken on Athe line 2 2 of Fig. 1, and also diagrammatically illustrating said part and waves by means of broken lines andthe top of a persons head by means. of a single full line;

Fig. 3 is a-perspective view of one of thev spring couplersg Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the coupler anchors and also illustrating by means of broken lines a portion ofone of the combs;

Fig. 5 is a view in section taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4 with the comb shown in'full;

Fig. 6 is a plan view showing one form of coupler anchor; l

Fig. 7 is a front view of the anchor shown in Fig. 6; L

Fig. 8 is a view in section taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 6 .and also illustratinga comb to which said anchor is applied;

Fig. 9 is a perspective'view showing one form of the comb; and y Fig. 10 is a view in section taken on the line 'lO-10 of Fig. Qand also fragmentarily illustrating couplers applied thereto.

The letter L diagrammatically indicates the outline of a persons head, b the part in the hair and c waves on eachside of the part. The numeral 11v indicates a pluralityV of' i combs commonly called water Waving combs. The combs 11 are detachably connected as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 by pairs of yoke-like spring couplers 12 detachably secured by anchors 13 to said combs. The anchors 13 are in the form of loops adapted to rest on the upper surfaces of the backs of the combs 11 and are detachably secured thereto by hook-like flanges 13 and Z-sliaped lugs 14, said flanges 13 and lugs 14 -being integrally formed with thc anchors 13. The outer longitudinal edge portions of the combs'll extend into the flanges 13 andthe lugs 14 extend between certain of the teeth of said device and also ltive anchors 13.

combs and engage the inner longitudinal edges of the combs 11 as stops to hold the backs of' the combs 11 in the flanges 13. The outer end portions of the lugs 14 are. primarily made straight and then bent after said lugs have been inserted between the teeth of the combs 11. y

Thecouplers 12 are detachably secured to the anchors 13jby hooks 15 formed on the outer end portions of said couplers. By reference -to Figs. 1 and 2 it will be noted that the vcouplers 12 are attached to certain of the anchors 13 by having their hooks 15 inserted through the Vloops of the respective anchors 13and over the flanges 13" thereof, and to certain others of said anchors the hooks 15 are attached by simply being in serted over the outer members of the respec- The anchor 16 shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8 comprises a liat body member adapted to rest 0n the upper surface of' the back of the respectivecomb 11 and has a'hook-like flange l17 and a pair of angle lugs 18. Said flange 17 is adapted toreceive the outer longitudi-` nal edge portion of theback of the respective comb -11 and the lugs 18 'are adapted to be0 inserted between lcertain of the teeth of said combs and engage the inner longitudinal edge portions of' said .combs as stops. The llugs 18 are ,primarily made straight and after being inserted between the teeth of the respective comb 11 are bent to shape. The anchor 16 is also provided witha pocket 19 cut and pressed from the stock forming the same. With this type of anchor 16 certain of the couplers 12 are attached thereto by having their hooks 15 app-lied over thel iailge 17 and certain other of the hooks ljarefattached to the pocket 19, as illustrated.

Againreferring-to Figs. 1 and 2, it will be noted that the two combs 11 on each side ofthe part c have their, teeth turned toward each other and are connectedv by a pair of couplers 12 which extendtransversely over said combs and their .hooks 15 are. inserted through anchors 13 and over their flanges:v

17. Outward of each pair' of sa-id combs 11 is a third comb 11 having appliedthereto a pair of anchors 13connected by a pair .of

couplers 12 to the anchors V13 of the intermediatecomb 11. It will-be noted that the two couplers 12 connecting the third comb to the intermediate comb extends transversely over said third comb and has certain of their hooks inserted 'over the longitudinal anchors 13 and certain other of'said hooks are inserted over the inner longitudinal edgeportio'ns of the loops of the anchors 13 on the intermediate comb. Fig. 9 shows a specially designed comb 20, the back yof which is rolled upon itself and a'ords ashaped ridge21 having a pair of apertures 22 formed therein. ln applying a pair of couplers 12 to this comb, one of the hooks 15 is applied over the ridge 21 and the other thereof is inserted through one of the apertures 22 from the under side of the ridge 21 and interlocked with the back of the comb 2() (see Fig. 10). rlhe couplers 12 are common. to all of the anchors shown as Well aS the comb 20. ln forming the waves c5 oneA of the combs at the part b is first placed in position and it is usually called the anchor comb. The hair is then combed to 4form one of the Waves c and a second comb is then placed in the hair at the other side of the AWave from the first comb and endvvise offset from said first comb. rlhis second comb, while in the wave c is moved endwise directly opposite the first comb to cause the hair in the Wave to extend obliquely thereof. 'livo of the couplers 12 are then applied to the two positioned combs7'and in so doing saidcouplers are spread by springing the saine, and whenreleased, move the second I comb toward therst or anchor comb and thereby cause the combs to securely hold the wave in position. A second Wave is vthen formed and a' third comb, positioned therein, as shown in Fig. 2, and the second and third combs connected by other or the couplers 12.

IThe Waves on theother side of the head are remote then formed in a like manner. providing couplers in the form of arches, they ein combination with apair of' combs, of a cou I pler in the form of an arch extending transversely over the combs and attached thereto.

2. The vstructure defined in claim 1 in which said arch is in the form of a spring.

.3. ln a device of the class defined,` the combination with a pair of combs'q of a pair of' laterally spaced couplersin the f'orin of springarches extending transversely over the combs and removably attached thereto.

4. ln. a device of' the class defined, the combination with a pair of combs7 of' a pair of anchors detachably appliedto the combs. and pai-rs of couplers detachably applied to l the anchors, said couplers being in the forniv of spring arches which extend transversefgY over the combs. v

5. The structure defined in claim i i; which each anrhor comprises a body mein er applicable to one side of'. the back of the comb and having a hook-lilo; flange engageu able with the upper edge of' said back 'and having lugs insertable between the teeth of the comb and secured thereto.

6. The structure defined in claim 3 in further combination With a third comb and 1 other couplers in the form of spring arches detachably connecting the second and third combs.
